Mister Legend

Chapter 474

As the biggest football superstar in China and even the entire East Asian region, even when the World Cup is coming every four years, Resurrection will not be left out in the cold.No, CCTV Sports Channel, Migu, and Youku, two online live streaming platforms, sent invitations to Li Moody’s agency on the second day after the Serie A League ended, hoping that the Turin coach could participate in this grand event as a guest commentator .

Especially the two online video platforms that are not short of money, in order to attract this popular football coach, they even offered extremely high treatment.And just looking at the commentary lineup, Youku has Zhan Junzhan as the guide, Migu also has the great director Jiang Wen, they are all people inside and outside the circle that Li Mudi likes very much, and he is very interested in playing with them.

It's a pity that due to various reasons, he was unable to go back to China and sit in the studio to commentate on the game. He could only regretfully decline the invitations of these two places and become a special guest of CCTV.Although the richer and richer China National TV Station cannot provide a high appearance fee, it is difficult for other platforms to come close to it in terms of influence.Moreover, they also have the exclusive copyright of the previous World Series in the entire country, and the resource advantage they hold is even more dominant.

The most important thing is that CCTV sent a large team of hundreds of people to Russia. All 64 games will be commented on the spot in the commentary booth of the stadium, making Li Moody's itinerary easier and more convenient.

So when the World Cup kicked off for a week, CCTV issued a notice: At 6:14 on June 23th, Beijing time, the coach of Turin and the poet He Weihe will explain the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia to everyone. attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

There is also an unknown "black box transaction". According to the original plan, the commentary team for this opening game should be CCTV host Liu Jiayuan and former international footballer Xu Yang.However, the former had annoyed Li Mudi two years ago when Gao Hongbo was in charge of the class, so he was changed under the suggestion of the Turin coach's agent during the previous negotiations.

Seeing this, some people may feel that Li Mudi is too narrow-minded, and this kind of behavior is not what a man should measure.But he himself believes that the so-called "famous mouth" who became a well-known domestic sports commentator because of football, not only did not do his part to help when the domestic football development was facing great difficulties, but It is a testament to bad character that a coach who has contributed to Chinese football has fallen to the bottom, and he disdains to be with such a villain.

Regardless of whether there is any misunderstanding, Li Modi will not work with this commentator surnamed Liu until the conflict between the two is resolved.

It's just that his commentary tour is probably not destined to go smoothly, because just the day before his engagement ceremony, the Real Madrid club suddenly announced in a high-profile manner: After the World Cup, the head coach of the Matador Legion Julen Lopetegui will take over the coach of the Galacticos and become the new helm of the world's number one giants.To this end, Real Madrid will pay the Spanish Football Association a termination fee of 200 million euros.

However, less than four hours after the news was officially announced, Spanish TV captured a mirror image of a suspected fierce verbal conflict between Lopetegui and sports director Hierro on the sidelines of the training field.Later, "Aspen" revealed that the former Real Madrid captain announced this decision to the national team coach at a critical moment when the World Cup is about to start, which would have a great impact on the team's preparations, and even claimed that it was an extremely stupid behavior.

Later, another source broke the news that the president of the Spanish Football Association Rubiales was also very angry about this incident, and even had the idea of ​​​​fireing Lopetegui immediately.But not many people take this news seriously, because there are only three days before the first round of the group match with Portugal. Changing coaches at this time is undoubtedly the worst decision. Anyone with a little sense would not be so reckless.

But everyone still underestimated the courage of the former president of the Spanish Players Union who just took office 25 days ago, or he can be dictatorial.After Del Amo, the vice-president of the country's Football Association, came out and criticized Real Madrid's timing of the official announcement at this time, Rubiales immediately held an impromptu press conference at noon on the next day, June 6. Yes, and it was confirmed at the meeting that the national team coach Lopetegui has been fired by the Football Association. The new coach candidate has not yet been determined at this moment, but there is already a general range.

This explosive news immediately spread throughout the football world, causing a sensation no less than a small earthquake.You must know that since taking over the old coach Bosque as the head coach of the national team after the European Cup in 2016, Lopetegui has led this batch of new and old Matadors to gradually embark on the road to restore their peak state. With 20 wins and 14 draws in 6 games, there are many classic cases of defeating world-class teams such as Italy and Argentina by a large score. Before the start of the World Cup, it was widely regarded as the top three favorites to win the championship.

The impact on the team of firing this coach with excellent leadership ability at such a critical moment is obviously immeasurable, but after careful analysis, it seems reasonable.

Thirty-eight years ago, three days before the start of the 38 European Cup, the Spanish national team had an almost identical incident. The then national team coach Kubala announced in advance that he would become the head coach of Barcelona after the tournament.At that time, the Football Association did not deal with it because it considered that there might be problems with a rash change of coaches. However, affected by the future of the coach, the Spanish team only scored one point in the current European Cup, which is a shame. The ground team was out at the bottom.Obviously, the current management of the Western Football Association has learned the tragic lessons of the old predecessors, and resolutely chose to kill the killer.

Not to mention whether their actions are good or bad, the most important thing for the whole of Spain now is undoubtedly to finalize the candidate for the new coach as soon as possible, otherwise it will really be like the name of the very popular song in China recently. Cool".

Soon, "Aspen" listed six of the most suitable firefighting heroes in their eyes, Real Betis coach Quique Setien, sports director Hierro, Spanish U21 coach Celades, and three The former La Liga coaches Enrique, Hermes and Flores who are currently unemployed at home.

The Western Football Association, which has always been accused of acting rigid and procrastinated before, has shown exceptionally efficient working ability this time. Less than two hours after Lopetegui was dismissed from get out of class, the new coach of the national team took office. Lao Yeluo stepped in and became the focus of the media and fans before the official opening of the World Cup.

However, this appointment has also been questioned by many people, because Hierro's previous coaching resume was not outstanding. He only served as the head coach of the Spanish second team Real Oviedo in the 2016-17 season, and finally won the eighth place in the league. Being able to enter the promotion play-offs can be regarded as a fairly satisfactory performance.In addition, he has no coaching experience in the first team. Except for a brief return to Real Madrid as Ancelotti's assistant coach, the rest of the positions are the sports director of clubs or national teams at all levels. It is difficult to win the approval of the players.

Moreover, the overly distinct Real Madrid label on him may also cause a certain amount of resistance among many Barcelona players in the national team, deteriorating the atmosphere of the team that was originally stable under Lopetegui, and the closeness of the two major domestic giants. Subsequent reports from the media seemed to confirm people's speculation.

The "Daily Sports" in the Artalonia region stated that most of the national team players were very disappointed with Lopetegui's decision; while the "Marca", which has always been considered the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, claimed that Ke and other Barcelona players actually disagree with the coaching change decision made by the chairman of the Football Association. They still maintain enough respect and trust for Lopetegui.

In this way, the Matador Legion, which was previously regarded as the favorite to win the championship, was also suspected of falling into a crisis of "infighting" when the World Cup journey was about to begin, making the outside world more and more pessimistic about their prospects. Hierro, who has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, brings more pressure.

The Spanish tycoon, who just celebrated his 20th birthday 50 days ago, found time to call the Turin coach on the day the World Cup kicked off. After apologizing for his inability to attend the latter's engagement ceremony as scheduled, he also Said another thing that made him feel helpless.

When Lopetegui resigned, he also took away three coaches from his coaching team, so after Hierro took office, a replacement needs to be recruited immediately, otherwise the team's daily training will be greatly affected .The big brother naturally hopes to invite a partner who is close to him and has excellent ability. The first candidate he thinks of is Li Mudi, but this proposal has not been approved by the leaders of the Football Association.

In fact, none of the three substitute coaches were selected by the new coach, but were "organized appointments". Calero, Juan Carlos Martinez and former international center back Marchena rushed to I rushed to Russia from Spain and joined this team that was in crisis.

For the opportunity to participate in the world cup as a coach, Li Moody still has some interest, but Hierro's idea is obviously a bit too simple.As the coach of the former European League champion, it is impossible to take on the role of supporting others. Even if he is willing to help his good friends, the brokerage companies and sponsors behind him will not agree, because it would be harmful to him. The business image of the company has a huge negative impact.

Of course, the more critical factor is that, as one of the most confident countries on the planet for its football strength, the Spanish people will not accept a non-local coach to serve in a national team.Even if Li Modi is currently holding a Spanish household registration book, it is impossible for him to integrate into that circle just because of his yellow skin.

Here is a ready-made example. A Spanish radio reporter broke the news on Twitter that the president of Real Madrid did not like Lopetegui. The famous coaches in the coaching position refused to take over this team that is very likely to usher in great changes.

About ten days ago, the German media "Bild" released the news. After being rejected by Loew, Allegri and others one after another, Real Madrid shifted the goal of the new coach to Hoffenheim coach Nagel, who was born in 1987. Siman, but the latter has declined the invitation after a short thought.

This news may seem inconspicuous, but in addition to exposing the embarrassment of the selection of coaches that the Galaxy Battleship encountered at the time, it also proved the unique innate advantages of Caucasians in the top European sports circles.We must know that Li Mudi is more suitable for the position of head coach of Real Madrid than the German young coach in terms of age, team leadership performance, or personal relationship. However, even in such a major crisis situation, Lafayette and other clubs The top management did not consider the Turin coach, which fully demonstrates how difficult it is for him, a Chinese man, to work hard in the European sports world.

During the call, Li Moody wished his big brother good luck and wished his second country a good performance in the World Cup. It is almost impossible for the team on top of the world to make history.Lopetegui's departure is very likely to intensify the conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the team, and Hierro's on-the-spot command ability is also very lacking, and it is difficult to make timely and effective decisions in a crisis situation. response.What a pity for this group of outstanding players!
With a trace of regret, Li Moody boarded the flight on the morning of the 14th, spent less than five hours, and arrived in Moscow, the capital of Russia. Nikki Stadium.

However, he will not participate in the live broadcast before the game. Instead, he turns on the microphone in front of him when the players from both sides enter the stadium channel and prepare to appear on the field at the beginning of the game.Let's explain the game, maybe he can barely be regarded as an expert, but he can't keep up with the rhythm of Poet He in terms of sensationalism, so he can only choose to be a quiet audience and spectator during the opening ceremony.

Although it is the first time to be a guest commentator, and there are some slight social barriers on weekdays, but sitting in the majestic stadium that can accommodate more than 8 spectators, seeing the opening game of a football event with your own eyes, plus He Wei was the only person around him who could understand the Chinese dialect, which made the Turin coach feel very excited and very comfortable.

And Poet He's title of "Director Li" made Li Modi instantly enter the state of a professional commentator, and relatively smoothly completed his first show on the TV screen.
